Quick Christmas Challenge

This little painting was a DPW Challenge called the "Quick Christmas Challenge." I tried to make quick brush strokes and not fuss, but by the time I painted the Christmas ball I was fussing a bit. But all in all I like how it turned out and I would definitely try this one again.

"Simple joys, little pleasures, laughter and smiles in big measures. Friends, family, togetherness, love; the choicest blessings from above. Peace, prosperity, and happiness too; all these and more are my wishes for you."

Kim, I stumbled across your blog yesterday, and loved it immediately. I went back to the very first post and began reading... like a novel, I suppose. The further I got, the more often I kept thinking this girl and I are so much alike! So alike... choices- choice of font, color, layout, post length and purpose. So alike... love of quotes, quirky painting title, humor, painting improvement and learning. So alike... thoughts and ways of communicating them - writing as if you're simply talking.I hope you don't think it's weird that I'm telling you this. I don't mean to appear as a stalker... but I suppose by definition of stalking... I guess I have been lurking around reading every post of 2015 and have every intention of moving on to 2016... yeah... I think I am... But let's just call me a fan... a fan of your work, a fan of your painting, a fan of your writing.Have a great day.Helen

About my paintings

All of my paintings are made with high quality Utrecht professional oil paints and do not include frames.

A few of my older paintings are done on a canvas board, some will be on stretch canvas too, but most of them are on Ampersand museum series gessobord which is a professional archival quality acid-free acrylic gessobord.

Leave a note in the comment section or on my Facebook page if you're interested in purchasing a painting. Most paintings are between $25.00 and $30.00 with just a few that are $40.00 to $50.00 due to their larger size. Payments accepted through Paypal.
